Engineer upgrades...

[Captain Killjoy]

While i was playing the engineer i began to wonder "What kind of upgrades could the Engineer have?". I mean, i could only think of a better sentry gun, a "super wrench" or possibly letting the engineer carry more metal. Anybody else have any ideas?

kevlar reinforced helmet and flak jacket for more armor.

But remember, all 2nd tier weapons have to have a downside.

The engineer should get a suit that protects him from bullets (not from explosives though) so bullets of all types (except headshots) do 1 dmg. In exchange for that, the engineer can be backstabbed from anywhere.

YAY!!~!!!

Wrenching people to give them armour.

 

[TheZaw]

Better yet, wrenching teammates AND disguised spys to give them armour.

Wrenching people to give them armour.

That is actually a good idea. Very nice.

 

[Captain Killjoy]

I had another thought: Mechs/battlesuits, Engineers could make mechs for their teams. Or maybe a stationary turret. last thought is maybe some kind of barricade, or engineers having the ability to set down sandbags.

lvl 3 sentry with armour percing rounds. but the skillgun it self takes more damage. with a wrench that gains metal from hititing enemys.

It's from TFC. Back then every class had armor. Soldiers and other heavy classes had more armor and health than the others but therefor they were slower. An engineer was able to repair the armor and give them even more armor (I'm not sure if it really was like that, I haven't played TFC in a long time but if I'm right then it was basically like an overheal for the armor).

Flame and grenade sentrys?

 

[Natirasha]

Screwdriver
Instead of dealing damage, leeches ammo from target's primary weapon, then converts it to metal.

Fire Sentry
Half range of normal sentry, but deals fire damage.

I was thinking somthing along the line of land mines. Or remote c4, that you can decide when to explode (a lot like stickies), so when a spy is by your sentry you can just right click and blow him up .

Flame and grenade sentrys?

that would be awesome

 

[b0bfath3r]

kinda off topic, but i have an idea for a spy spying as a engineer. He would have a fake dispenser that either explodes once someone starts to use it, or poisons the enemies. that would be awesome!
and for the downside, it would cost the spy half his health to make.

Actually, that's from TF. The spy could sabotage the sentry and dispenser. Though I wouldn't mind seeing manual aiming for sentries.

It's not from TFC at all. The TFC dispenser only explodes when it has enough rockets and pipes loaded while it gets destroyed either by the engi himself or an enemy.
Neither the poisoning nor the automatic self destruction is from TFC.

Yeah I forgot. It's Fortress Forever not Team Fortress Classic.

I read this on a different forum which is word for word "The first weapon which can replace either the Shotgun or pistol is a Nailgun. Its main purpose is to allow the engineer to repair his sentry gun from a distance but it only repairs a small amount compared to that of the wrench. As an extra bonus it does not have crits by it's self but it does do critical damage to enemy engineer buildings. It's semi-automatic similar to that of the pistol and has a declining shot that mimics the syringe gun. It's clip size is about 15 or 16 rounds." credit to Megagamer2, from Steam's forum. I also think that the engi should replace his pistol to be able to move his sentry and his building arounds , downside it takes 100 metal, for each transportation.

I hope for another building that you can build. Even tho i don`t think that will happen.
